AT&T U-verse app now shows live TV

AT&T has announced they’re bringing live TV to their U-verse app for Android. Of course, this has a few catches, which may not thrill some. For those who are already involved in the world of AT&T, this may prove a welcome update.

First, the live TV will only be available to U-verse subscribers, with no free or preview option available. While more than 100 channels will be available for viewing, AT&T says only about 20 will be available while on the go. They also note they’ll continue to add channels on an ongoing basis.

”By making live TV content available across devices we’re enabling our customers to watch TV on their terms when and where they want it. U-verse has always been about delivering a TV experience built around our customers, and this enhancement gives them even more flexibility and control.”

AT&T also points out the app has a full featured U-verse remote, DVR controls, and access to On Demand content.

This update offers a nice addition to current AT&T subscribers’ service, but will probably not do much to lure new customers. To qualify, you’ll need a U-family or better package, and this still leaves a majority of U-verse channels inaccessible when not at home. The app will begin updating today, and will gradually roll out out all users over the coming weeks.
